The Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003 presented above, contain revenue and expense data of CTS and Velagio, for the twelve days from the acquisition date, September 16, 2003, to the end of the periods presented. On September 17, 2002, the Company acquired Innovative Safety Technologies, LLC (IST). The Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002 presented above, contain revenue and expense data of IST for the twelve days from the acquisition date, September 17, 2002, to the end of the periods presented.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash or cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are primarily maintained at four financial institutions.

     Fair value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the relative short maturities of these instruments. The carrying value of debt, derivatives and the liability for warrant settlement are recorded at the estimated fair value of these instruments.

     Revenue and Cost Recognition

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed, title has transferred, collection of resulting receivables is probable, no customer acceptance requirements exist and there are no remaining significant obligations. A significant portion of the Company’s revenues are derived from construction and service projects. Revenues from fixed-price, cost-plus-fee, time and material, and unit-price contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, measured by the percentage of contract costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs. This method is used because management considers total cost to be the best available measure of completion of construction contracts in progress. Provisions for estimated losses on construction contracts in progress are made in their entirety in the period in which such losses are determined, without reference to the percentage complete. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to revenue and costs, and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Claims for additional revenue are not recognized until the period in which such claims are allowed. Direct contract costs include all direct labor, direct materials, project estimation costs and shop and equipment costs. Shop and equipment costs include shop salaries and expenses, facilities rent, small tools, repairs and maintenance, and depreciation not identifiable with or allocated to a specific contract or service activity. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.

A portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from software consulting and services. Consulting and service revenue consists of strategic advisory, business process re-engineering, design, engineering, software development, systems integration, systems testing and implementation, end user training and post-implementation support activities. Consulting services are generally billed under time and material contracts. Revenue earned from these services is recognized as services are performed. Prior to its acquisition by the Company, Velagio also earned revenue from sales of a software license and the related professional services. During the twelve days during the period since its acquisition by the Company, no revenue from sales of software products has been recognized. Certain consulting services only contracts included Post Contract Consumer Support (PCS) to assist customers with post-implementation issues. PCS services are generally offered under renewable, fee-based contracts or as part of multiple element arrangements. PCS revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the contract period.

Product revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is probable.

     Incentive Stock Option Plan

The Company measures compensation cost for stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method of accounting as prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. The Company has adopted those provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, which require disclosure of the pro forma effects on net earnings and earnings per share as if compensation cost had been recognized based upon the fair value-based method at the date of grant for options awarded.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair values of options are amortized to expense over the options vesting periods. The Company’s pro forma information follows:

                                   
      Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended
     
 
      September 27,   September 28,   September 27,   September 28,

    (5,466 )     (210 )     (14,417 )     (899 )

The effects of applying SFAS 123 for providing pro forma disclosures for the period shown are not likely to be representative of the effects on reported net loss and net loss per share for future quarters, because options vest over several years and additional awards generally are made each year.

The Company used the Black-Scholes method to value its options. The following assumptions were used for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003 and September 28, 2002.

2. Liquidity Matters

On September 16, 2003, the Company acquired two wholly-owned subsidiaries, CTS and Velagio. In conjunction with these acquisitions, the Company raised an additional $1,515,000 in equity, of which $750,000 was a cash investment and $765,000 was a conversion of debt assumed by the Company as part of its acquisition of CTS (see note 9). The Company and CTS have suffered recurring losses from ongoing operations and have experienced negative cash flows from continuing operating activities. While the acquisitions have added a significant amount of revenue to the Company, the recurring losses from continuing operations raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company believes it may not have sufficient resources to satisfy cash requirements for the next twelve months. The Company is actively seeking additional investment capital. Investment capital may be difficult to obtain due to the Company’s inability to meet certain SEC reporting requirements relative to historical financial statements of CTS. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available or, if available, will be at terms acceptable to the Company. The Company is also reviewing overhead expenses and lease agreements in an effort to reduce monthly cash outflow. On November 11, 2003, in an effort to reduce overhead expenses, the Company laid-off 13 of its staff.

3.     Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” EITF 00-21 addresses certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which the vendor will perform multiple revenue generating activities. The EITF will be effective for the Company’s third quarter ended September 27, 2003. Management has not yet determined the impact of the adoption of EITF 00-21 on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. The Company does not expect the adoption of EITF 00-21 will have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 149 is intended to result in more consistent reporting of contracts as either freestanding derivative instruments subject to Statement 133 in its entirely, or as hybrid instruments with debt host contracts and embedded derivative features. SFAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 149 will have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46). FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 were to be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. In October 2003, the FASB released a FASB Staff Position (FSP) deferring the effective date for applying the provisions of FIN 46. A public entity need not apply the provisions of FIN 46 to an interest held in a variable interest entity or potential variable interest entity until the end of the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003 (as of December 31, 2003, for an entity with a calendar year-end or quarter-end of December 31). The Company has no relationships with other entities for which it is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 46 to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (SFAS 150). SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Effective June 28, 2003, the beginning date of the Company’ third quarter, the Company adopted SFAS 150. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 150 to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

7. Intangible Assets

The Company amortizes its intangible assets on a straight-line basis. The Company’s acquisition of CTS resulted in the valuation of CTS’ Christenson name and customer lists as intangible assets. The Company’s trade name was considered to have an undeterminable life, and as such will not be amortized. The customer lists were determined to have a six-year life. On November 11, 2003, the Company elected to eliminate further investment in its IOS product line. As of the end of the quarter ended September 27, 2003, the intangible value of the IOS product line was written off. Also on November 11, 2003, the Company decided to scale back sales of its No Tug Plug product line. It was determined by the Company to write off $255,419 of the remaining net intangible value assigned to those product lines. The remainder of the intangible value of the No Tug Plug purchased technology is being amortized over ten years.

Intangible assets consist of the following:

                 
    September 27,   December 28,
    2003   2002
   
 
Purchased technology-IOS
  $     $ 310,000

  $ 1,915,387     $ 311,333  
 
   
     
 

Based on the Company’s current intangible assets, amortization expense for the five succeeding years will be as follows:

8.     Series 2 Preferred Stock Issuance

On September 26, 2003 the Company issued 3,607,151 shares of Series 2 preferred stock in conjunction with a private placement at $.42 per share. The terms of the Series 2 preferred stock are as follows.

Dividends. Series 2 preferred stock issued and outstanding shall be entitled to receive a cash dividend in the amount of 6.5% of the Issue Price per annum. The Series 2 preferred stock dividends shall be payable in cash, quarterly, subject to the declaration of the dividend by the board of directors, if and when the board of directors deems advisable. Any declared but unpaid dividend will not bear interest and will be payable out of net profits; if net profits are not sufficient to pay this dividend, either in whole or in part, then any unpaid portion of the dividend will be paid in full out of net profits of the Corporation in subsequent quarters before any dividends are paid upon shares of Junior Stock.

Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, except in certain circumstances, the holders of each share of Series 2 preferred stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders, before any declaration and payment or setting apart for payment of any amount shall be made in respect of Junior Stock, an amount equal to the Issue Price and all accrued but unpaid dividends.

Conversion. Each holder of any share(s) of Series 2 preferred stock may, at the holder’s option, convert all or any part of such share(s) from time to time held by the holder into shares of common stock at any time after the date of issuance. Each such share of Series 2 preferred stock shall be converted into one share of fully-paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. Each share of Series 2 preferred stock shall automatically be converted into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis immediately upon the consummation of the Company’s sale of its common stock in a bona fide, firm commitment, underwritten public offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which results in aggregate cash proceeds (before underwriters’ commissions and offering expenses) to the Company of $5,000,000 or more. In any event, if not converted to common stock, each share of Series 2 preferred stock shall automatically be converted into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis immediately upon the third anniversary of the date of issuance of the Series 2 preferred stock.

Subsequent to the common stock issuance, the note payable balance was $10,000. Payments made on that note since that date reduced the balance to $1,000 as of September 27, 2003, which is included in current liabilities.

The following unaudited proforma information presents a summary of the consolidated results of operations of the Company assuming the acquisitions of CTS, Velagio and IST occurred on the first day of fiscal 2002. In the course of trying to complete the audit of GAAP compliant financial statements related to its Form 8-K/A filing, the Company’s independent accountants and management noted certain material internal control weaknesses within the operations of CTS in the areas of: revenue recognition; cash disbursements; inventory accounting; and document control. The Company’s management concluded that fully compliant GAAP financial statements of CTS for FY 2001 and FY 2002 could not be prepared. In addition, the Company’s independent accountants concluded that they could not complete an audit nor render an audit opinion on the FY 2002 and FY 2001 historical financial statements of CTS. Given the significance of CTS, and for the purpose of informing shareholders and prospective investors, the Company has prepared the following summary proforma with the best information available, which management believes fairly represents the unaudited proforma results of operations of the combined Company for the periods presented. The following information is unaudited.

11.     Private Placements

Concurrent with the acquisition of IST on September 16, 2002, the Company issued 1,363,629 shares of restricted common stock in conjunction with a private placement at $.22 per share. In total, the Company received net proceeds from the private placement of approximately $280,000. Issuance costs relative to the private placement were approximately $20,000. These shares of stock are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and must be held for the time required by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

During April and May 2003 the Company issued 1,113,078 shares of restricted common stock in conjunction with a private placement at $.26 per share. The private placement included an issuance of 111,308 warrants for the purchase of common stock which are exercisable at a purchase price of $.40 per share with a 3-year term. Of the total capital raised, $50,000 was converted from a $40,000 note payable and a $10,000 miscellaneous payable, both owed to Steven M. Wright, a Director of the Company and a member of senior management. These payables arose from cash that had been previously advanced by him to the Company. The shares issued in the private placement were not registered and are restricted from sale for at least one year pursuant to federal securities laws. R. Patrick Hanlin, Chairman of the Board and Steven M. Wright President & CEO at that time, both purchased additional shares in the private placement.

Prior to the Company’s acquisitions of CTS and Velagio on September 16, 2003, the Company entered into subscription agreements to issue 3,607,151 shares of restricted, Series 2 preferred stock at $0.42 per share. The subscription agreements were contingent upon the closing of the Company’s acquisitions of CTS and Velagio. The funding of the subscriptions occurred on or near October 3, 2003. In total, the Company received net proceeds from the private placement of approximately $715,000 in cash and $765,000 in debt conversion. Issuance costs relative to the private placement were approximately $35,000. These shares of stock are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and must be held for the time required by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The private placement included an issuance of 333,334 warrants for the purchase of common stock, which are exercisable at a purchase price of $.42 per share with a 5-year term. Each investor was awarded one warrant for every $3 invested in the private placement. These warrants were assigned a portion of the Series 2 preferred stock value using the Black Scholes valuation method. This value is presented as a liability for warrant settlement in the consolidated balance sheet (See Note 18).

12.     Discontinued Operations

On September 7, 2000, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Greensteel, Inc. (Greensteel), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Polyvision Corporation, for the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets used in its Softboard operations. The terms of the asset sale called for Greensteel to pay the Company up to $3,500,000, with $2,000,000 payable at the closing of the transaction and up to an additional $1,500,000 in contingent earn-out payments based on net sales of the Company’s Softboard

Table of Contents

products over a five-year period. Shareholders approved the agreement and the transaction was finalized on October 24, 2000 and resulted in a gain of $1,221,852.

A contingent earn-out payment in the amount of $14,602 was received by the Company during the three months ended September 27, 2003. A total of $39,413 in contingent earn-out payments were received by the Company during the nine months ended September 27, 2003. The Company received $10,469 and $22,668 during the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002, respectively. These amounts were recorded as gain on the sale of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As a result of shareholder approval of the Greensteel agreement, discontinued operations accounting treatment has been applied to the Softboard operation. Accordingly, the net gain incurred from the Softboard operations is reported in gain from discontinued operations for all periods presented to reflect the reclassification of these operations as discontinued. Also, cash flows from the Softboard operations are reported as “net cash provided by (used in) discontinued operations” whether associated with operating, investing or financing activities.

13.     Net Income Per Share:

Net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities assumed to be outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities consist of stock options and warrants to purchase common stock.

The most significant difference between basic and diluted net income per share is that basic net income per share does not treat potentially dilutive securities such as stock options and warrants as outstanding. For all periods presented, the computation of net loss per share excludes the effect of stock options and warrants as they were antidilutive. There were 770,095 options and 2,530,643 warrants outstanding at September 27, 2003, and 320,188 options and 2,086,000 warrants outstanding at September 28, 2002.

14.     Repurchase of Common Stock

On February 28, 2003, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase and Pledge Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Steelcase, Inc. (“Steelcase”) to repurchase 951,445 of the Company’s common shares held by Steelcase. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company repurchased these shares for a base amount of approximately $209,318, or $0.22 per share, subject to adjustment. The Company issued a three-year Promissory Note (the “Note”) for payment of this amount. Payments of principal under the Note will be made in three equal annual installments of approximately $69,773, on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of the Note. The Note carries an interest rate of 12%, payable quarterly, starting on June 1, 2003 until the principal amount of the Note is paid in full.

If the Note and accrued interest is paid according to the terms of the Note, on the third anniversary date of the Note the parties shall calculate a new purchase price based on the average market closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 180 days prior to the third anniversary date. If the average market closing price per common share over this 180 day period is less than $0.22 per common share, then the purchase price payable under the Agreement will remain at $209,318 or $0.22 per common share. If the average market closing price per share over this 180 day period is greater than $0.22 per common share, then the purchase price payable under the Agreement will be increased by an amount equal to the excess of this 180 day average market closing price per common share over $0.22 per common share, times 951,445 shares. However, under this purchase price adjustment, the maximum purchase price paid will not exceed approximately $333,006, or $0.35 per common share. This feature is considered to be an embedded derivative option under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133. Under these provisions a derivative liability was established at inception in the amount of $14,310 using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Quarterly changes based on fluctuations in the Company’s stock price are reflected in the other expense section of the Statement of Operations. During the quarter ended September 27, 2003 this liability increased by $23,550, and the Company recorded incremental expense of $24,743. The value of

this liability as of September 27, 2003 was $37,467, and is reflected as a long term liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

For purposes of all purchase price adjustments under the Agreement, the number of common shares and per share amounts are subject to adjustments to give effect to stock splits, dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and other similar transactions occurring after the date of the Agreement.

15. Debt

Operating Line of Credit

As of September 27, 2003, the Company has a $4,000,000 credit facility, which expires in August 2004. Borrowings under the line of credit are due on demand, bear interest payable weekly at prime plus 6.5% and are collateralized by accounts receivable. The borrowing base is limited by certain factors such as length of collection cycle, subordination of collateral position on bonded work and other credit related factors. Subject to these limitations, the Company had $1,173,288 available borrowing capacity at September 27, 2003. As of September 27, 2003, borrowings of $2,826,712 were outstanding under the facility.

18.     Warrants

In connection with the September 2003 preferred stock private placement (See Note 11), the Company issued 333,334 warrants to purchase common stock. Each warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at $.42 per share and will expire in 2008. Subsequent to this private placement, the Company exercised an option to convert $1,500,000 of outstanding debt into preferred stock that is convertible into shares of common stock. This exercise, when aggregated with all other outstanding equity arrangements, resulted in the total number of common shares that could be required to be delivered to exceed the number of authorized common shares. In accordance with EITF 00-19, the fair value of the warrants issued in the private placement must be recorded as a liability in the financial statements using the Black-Scholes model, and any subsequent changes in the Company’s stock price to be recorded in earnings. Accordingly, the fair value of these warrants at the date of issuance was determined to be $64,902. At September 27, 2003, the fair value was determined to be $150,659 and the increase was recorded in earnings.

In connection with the April 2003 common stock private placement (See Note 11), the Company issued 111,308 warrants to purchase common stock. Each warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at $0.40 per share and will expire in 2008. Subsequent to this private placement, the Company exercised an option to convert $1,500,000 of outstanding debt into preferred stock that is convertible into shares of common stock. This exercise, when aggregated with all other outstanding equity arrangements, resulted in the total number of common shares that could be required to be delivered to exceed the number of authorized common shares. In accordance with EITF 00-19, the fair value of the warrants issued in the private placement must be recorded as a liability in the financial statements using the Black-Scholes model, and any subsequent changes in the Company’s stock price to be recorded in earnings. Accordingly, the fair value of these warrants at the date of issuance was determined to be $64,902. At September 27, 2003, the fair value was determined to be $150,659 and the increase was recorded in earnings.

Table of Contents

In connection with debt financing entered into during fiscal year 2000, the Company issued 2,066,000 detachable warrants to purchase common stock. The warrants had an initial term of 3 years and were to expire in June 30, 2005. Proceeds from the debt were allocated between the debt and warrants based on the fair value of the warrants issued using the Black-Scholes model. The combined value assigned to the warrants when they were issued was approximately $357,000 and was initially recorded as debt discount and recognized as interest expense over the life of the debt. On September 15, 2003, the Company extended the life of these warrants until June 30, 2007 as partial consideration to satisfy a $150,000 promissory note between CTS and JMW Capital Partners, Inc. In accordance with FIN 44, the fair value of the warrants on the date of the settlement of the $150,000 promissory note between CTS and JMW Capital Partners, Inc was determined to be $468,000. The difference between the initial fair value and the fair value at the date of the extension was recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates on an on-going basis its estimates and judgments, including those related to sales returns, bad debts, excess inventory, warranty obligations, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. These estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its Consolidated Financial Statements:

Revenue recognition and allowances;

27


Table of Contents

Inventories;

Impairment of long-lived assets;

Accounting for income taxes.

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed, title has transferred, collection of resulting receivables is probable, no customer acceptance requirements exist and there are no remaining significant obligations. A significant portion of the Company’s revenues are derived from construction and service projects. Revenues from fixed-price, cost-plus-fee, time and material and unit-price contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, measured by the percentage of contract costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs. This method is used because management considers total cost to be the best available measure of completion of construction contracts in progress. Provisions for estimated losses on construction contracts in progress are made in their entirety in the period in which such losses are determined without reference to the percentage complete. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to revenue and costs, and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Claims for additional revenue are not recognized until the period in which such claims are allowed. Direct contract costs include all direct labor, direct materials, estimating costs and shop and equipment costs. Shop and equipment costs include shop salaries and expenses, facilities rent, small tools, repairs and maintenance, and depreciation not identifiable with or allocated to a specific contract or service activity. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.

A portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from software consulting and services. Consulting and service revenue consists of strategic advisory, business process re-engineering, design, engineering, software development, systems integration, systems testing and implementation, end user training and post-implementation support activities. Consulting services are generally billed under time and material contracts. Revenue earned from these services is recognized as services are performed. Prior to its acquisition by the Company, Velagio also earned revenue from sales of a software license and the related professional services. During the twelve days during the period since its acquisition by the Company, no revenue from sales of software products has been recognized. Certain consulting services only contracts included PCS to assist customers with post-implementation issues. PCS services are generally offered under renewable, fee-based contracts or as part of multiple element arrangements. PCS revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the contract period.

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends, and changes in customer payment terms and practices are analyzed when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances and charges against earnings may be required.

The Company writes down inventory for estimated excess and obsolete inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated fair value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Any significant unanticipated changes in demand or competitive product developments could have a significant impact on the value of the Company’s inventory and its reported results. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected, additional inventory write-downs and charges against earnings may be required.

Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of discounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the fair value of the asset as estimated using a discounted cash flow model.

28


Table of Contents

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Additionally, deferred tax assets are evaluated, and a valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the tax asset will not be utilized.

Results of Operations

Prior to the acquisition of CTS and Velagio, the Company’s only operating division was Innovative Safety Technologies (IST) which was acquired on September 17, 2002. Prior to the acquisition of IST, the Company had not been engaged in ongoing operations since October 24, 2000. The financial information presented for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003, represents activity in CTS and Velagio for the twelve days from the date of the acquisition, September 16, 2003, to the end of the period. The financial information presented for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002, represents activity in IST for the twelve days from the date of the acquisition, September 17, 2002, to the end of the period, combined with the other income and general and administrative expenses incurred by Microfield Group, Inc. for the same three and nine month periods. The combined entities of CTS and Velagio have a substantially larger revenue and expense base than IST, therefore, comparative financial data between the current and prior year periods varies significantly.

Sales. Revenue for the fiscal quarter ended September 27, 2003 was $1,244,000 compared to $3,000 for the same fiscal quarter in 2002. The revenue amount for the current fiscal quarter comprises work completed on ongoing projects during the twelve days from the date of the acquisition of CTS and Velagio to the end of the fiscal quarter. Revenue from the individual segments of the business for the fiscal quarter ended September 27, 2003 was $1,159,000 for construction and services, $22,000 for consulting and $115,000 for security products. Revenue from security products was $2,590 for the period ended September 28, 2002. The variance in this segment was due to the fact that the security products segment was acquired on September 17, 2002. Variances in the other segments were due to the fact that these segments were not included in the Company’s results in 2002 as their acquisition occurred on September 16, 2003.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 27, 2003 was $1,535,000, of which $1,128,000 was produced in the acquired companies after the date of the acquisitions. The Company had sales of $3,000 for the nine months ended September 28, 2002. Revenue from the individual segments of the business for the nine months ended September 27, 2003 was $1,159,000 for construction and services, $22,000 for consulting and $407,000 for security products. The variance in this segment was due to the fact that the security products segment was acquired on September 17, 2002. Variances in the other segments were due to the fact that these segments were not included in the Company’s results in 2002 as their acquisition occurred on September 16, 2003.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was $968,000 for the three months ended September 27, 2003, of which $871,000 was related to sales in the acquired companies after the date of the acquisitions. Cost of sales is comprised primarily of direct materials and labor used in the construction, services and consulting business lines, and primarily materials in the security products business. In the construction and services business, direct job related costs are incurred and revenue is subsequently billed on the percentage of completion basis. Gross profit for the individual segments of the business for the fiscal quarter ended September 27, 2003, was $245,000 for construction and services, $13,000 for consulting and $18,000 for security products. The gross profit contributions represent margin percentages of 21% for construction and services, 57% for consulting, and 16% for security products. The variance in this segment was due to the fact that the security products segment was acquired on September 17, 2002. Variances in the other segments were due to the fact that these segments were not included in the Company’s results in 2002 as their acquisition occurred on September 16, 2003.

Table of Contents

Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 27, 2003 totaled $1,178,000, of which $871,000 was related to sales in the acquired companies after the date of the acquisitions. Cost of sales totaled $1,000 for both the fiscal quarter and nine months ended September 28, 2002. Gross profit for the individual segments of the business for the nine months ended September 27, 2003 was $245,000 for construction and services, $13,000 for consulting and $99,000 for security products. The gross profit contributions represent margin percentages of 21% for construction and services, 57% for consulting, and 24% for security products. The variance in this segment was due to the fact that the security products segment was acquired on September 17, 2002. Variances in the other segments were due to the fact that these segments were not included in the Company’s results in 2002 as their acquisition occurred on September 16, 2003.

Sales,General and Administrative (S, G & A) Expenses. S, G & A expenses increased $1,324,000 to $1,415,000 for the three months ended September 27, 2003 compared to $91,000 for the three months ended September 28, 2002. Fluctuations in the amount of expenses incurred between the three months ended September 27, 2003 and September 28, 2002 were due primarily to the acquisition of Velagio and CTS on September 16, 2003. On November 11, 2003, the Company elected to discontinue its IOS product line. As of the end of the quarter ended September 27, 2003, the intangible value of the IOS product line was written off. Also on November 11, 2003, the Company elected to scale back sales of its No Tug Plug product line. It was determined by the Company to write off a portion of the Intangible value assigned to that product line. The Company has incurred a charge to expense of $255,000 as a result of these two product decisions. The Company also wrote off goodwill acquired in the merger with IST in the amount of $251,000. There were no write offs of goodwill or intangibles, other than regular amortization, in the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002. The Company also incurred an additional $374,000 in expenses in the acquired companies for the twelve days from the date of the acquisition to the end of the period. The current quarter also includes additional charges of $207,500 for professional services fees related the Company’s acquisitions.

S, G & A expenses increased $1,784,000 to $1,986,000 for the nine months ended September 27, 2003 from $202,000 for the nine months ended September 28, 2002. Fluctuations in the amount of expenses incurred between the three months ended September 27, 2003 and September 28, 2002 were due primarily to the acquisition of Velagio and CTS on September 16, 2003. S, G & A expenses are comprised of $1,550,000 of expenses related to the operations of IST and to costs associated with the public status of the Company. The remaining $436,000 in expenses are related to the operations of the construction and construction services, and the consulting businesses. These expenses were incurred in the twelve days from the acquisition date to the end of the period presented. S, G & A expenses are expected to increase significantly in future periods compared to the level incurred in the nine months ended September 27, 2003, due to the future operations of the combined companies.

Interest Income (Expense), Net. Net interest expense was $54,000 for the three months ended September 27, 2003, compared to net interest income of $2,000 for the three months ended September 28, 2002. The net increase in interest expense is due to a decrease in cash reserves and an increase in the debt levels carried by the consolidated company.

Net Interest expense was $62,000 for the nine months ended September 27, 2003 compared to net interest income of $7,000 for the nine months ended September 28, 2002. The net increase in interest expense is due to a decrease in cash reserves and an increase in the debt levels carried by the consolidated company.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On September 26, 2003, the Company sold 3,607,151 shares of Series 2 preferred Series 2 preferred stock in conjunction with a private placement at $.42 per share. The Company received cash proceeds from the private placement, net of related costs, of approximately $715,000, and debt reduction of $765,000. Since inception, the Company has financed its operations and capital expenditures through public and private sales of equity securities, cash from operations, and borrowings under bank lines of credit. At September 27, 2003, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $2,092,000 and its primary source of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents. The Company has a line of credit with an asset based lending institution. As of September 27, 2003, there was $2,827,000 due under the line, with a borrowing limit of $4,000,000. The borrowing base is limited by certain factors such as length of collection cycle, subordination of collateral position on bonded work and other credit related factors. Subject to these limitations, the Company had $1,173,288 available borrowing capacity at September 27, 2003.

On September 16, 2003, the Company acquired Christenson Technology Services, Inc. (CTS) and Velagio, Inc. (Velagio) in exchange for 8,386,285 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of these acquisitions, the assets and liabilities changed significantly from those in the prior periods. Accounts receivable from both related and unrelated parties increased to $5,702,000 at September 27, 2003 from $194,000 at December 28, 2002. The increase is due primarily to outstanding trade receivables acquired in conjunction with the Company’s acquisition of CTS. Inventory increased to $666,000 at September 27, 2003 from $50,000 at December 28, 2002. The increase is due to inventory acquired in conjunction with the Company’s acquisition of CTS. Also, as a result of the acquisition of CTS, the Company records costs in excess of billings to recognize the work in progress related to construction projects. At September 27, 2003 costs in excess of billings were $2,184,000.

Property and equipment increased to $2,268,000 at September 27, 2003 compared to $134,000 at December 28, 2002 as a result of the acquisition of CTS and Velagio. The increase was due primarily to the purchase of vehicles, leasehold improvements and equipment in the acquisitions of CTS and Velagio.

Intangible assets, net of related amortization increased $1,604,000 to $1,915,000 from $311,000 at December 28, 2002. The increase was due primarily to the purchase of intangible assets acquired in conjunction with the acquisitions of CTS (See note 9). Other than for legal and advisory expenses, no cash was paid for the acquisitions of CTS and Velagio.

Accounts payable from both related and unrelated parties increased to $4,164,000 at September 27, 2003 compared to $222,000 at December 28, 2002. At September 27, 2003 accounts payable relate primarily to vendor payables assumed in the acquisition of CTS. Current portion of long term debt from both related and unrelated parties increased to $949,000 at September 27, 2003, and from $9,000 at December 28, 2002. The increase is due primarily to notes payable assumed by the Company in conjunction with the acquisition of CTS. Other current liabilities from both related and unrelated parties increased to $2,172,000 at September 27, 2003 compared to $39,000 at December 28, 2002. The increase is due primarily to accrued liabilities assumed as a result of the acquisition of CTS and Velagio.

As a part of the acquisition of CTS, the Company assumed a liability owed by CTS to an asset based lender      . Under this credit facility, CTS borrows up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable. The interest rate under this facility is the Prime Rate plus 6.5% and adjusts as the Prime Rate changes. As of September 27, 2003, this liability was $2,827,000. The borrowing base is limited by certain factors such as length of collection

cycle, subordination of collateral position on bonded work and other credit related factors. Subject to these limitations, the Company had $1,173,288 available borrowing capacity at September 27, 2003. Also as part of the acquisition, the Company assumed liabilities related to certain construction projects in progress. As of September 27, 2003, billings in excess of cost were $924,000.

For the nine months ended September 27, 2003, the continuing operations of the Company provided $115,000 of cash. Net cash provided by investing activities was $619,000, primarily due to the acquisition of CTS and Velagio. Net cash used in financing activities was $537,000 due primarily to repayments on the Company’s line of credit.

In conjunction with the acquisitions on September 16, 2003, the Company raised an additional $1,515,000 in equity through both a cash investment and conversion of existing debt. The Company and CTS have suffered recurring losses from ongoing operations and have experienced negative cash flows from continuing operating activities. While the acquisitions have added a significant amount of revenue to the Company, the recurring losses from continuing operations raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company believes it may not have sufficient resources to satisfy cash requirements for the next twelve months. The Company is actively seeking additional investment capital. Investment capital may be difficult to obtain to the Company’s inability to meet certain SEC reporting requirements relative to historical financial statements of CTS. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available or, if available, will be at terms acceptable to the Company. The Company is also reviewing overhead expenses and lease agreements in an effort to reduce monthly cash outflow. Subsequent to the end of the quarter on November 11, 2003, in an effort to reduce overhead expenses, the Company laid off 13 of its overhead staff.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

Prior to the September 16, 2003 acquisitions of CTS and Velagio, the Company officers, including the then current Chief Executive Officer, had evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and found them to be effective in alerting the Chief Executive Officer on a timely basis to material information relating to the Company required to be included in the Company’s securities filings. At that time, the Company did not have a Chief Financial Officer.

After closing the acquisitions of CTS and Velagio on September 16, 2003, the Company and its newly organized management team, including the new Chief Executive Officer, the newly appointed and acting Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Operating Officer (the Company’s former CEO prior to the acquisitions), reviewed the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. In response to this review, the officers of the Company developed a formalized Periodic Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures (DCP) process to implement periodic internal reports, disclosure controls, procedures and internal controls.

In the course of trying to complete the audit of GAAP compliant financial statements related to Form 8-K/A filing, the Company’s independent accountants and management team noted certain material internal control weaknesses within the operations of CTS in the areas of: revenue recognition, cash disbursements, inventory accounting and document control. The Company’s management concluded that fully compliant GAAP financial statements of CTS for FY 2002 and FY 2001 could not be prepared. Accordingly, the Company’s independent accountants concluded that they could not render an opinion on the historical FY 2002 and FY 2001 financial statements of CTS. In response to these material internal control weaknesses specific to CTS’s internal financial controls and accounting procedures, the Company conducted a company-wide core business process and systems assessment initiative named Project Foundation. Upon completing the assessment work within Project Foundation, the Company and management team commenced business process re-engineering activities related to core business processes (contract-to-cash business cycle), and are actively preparing for selecting and implementing improved information systems (accounting and financial reporting tools) to address deficiencies related to CTS’s internal financial controls and accounting procedures.

In order to review the financial condition and prepare the financial disclosures in this document, the Company’s officers have been responding to recommendations from the Company’s auditors to ensure the purchase accounting is accurate and to properly and accurately account for the financial information contained in this Form 10-QSB. Detailed validation work was done by internal personnel with respect to all consolidated balance sheet account balances to substantiate the financial information that is contained in this Form 10-QSB. Additional analysis was performed on consolidated income statement amounts and compared to prior period (both year over year and consecutive period) amounts for reasonableness.

The Company’s officers have been working closely with the Audit Committee to address recommendations from the Company’s auditors regarding deficiencies in the disclosure controls and procedures and expect that the newly instituted DCP process adopted by the officers of the Company will correct the deficiencies and will implement disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act, that will timely alert the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to material information relating to the Company required to be included in the Company’s Exchange Act filings.

Item 5. Other Information

In the course of trying to complete the Company’s audit of GAAP compliant financials related to its Form 8-K/A filing, the Company’s independent accountants and management team noted certain material internal control weaknesses within the operations of CTS in the areas of: revenue recognition, disbursements, inventory accounting, and document control.
